securely taped to one of the return bends two 
thirds of the way through the evaporator cir-
cuit.  Some “hunting” of the expansion valve is 
normal.  The valve should be adjusted so that 
during the hunting the greatest difference be-
tween the two probes is 3°F.  Make adjustments 
of no more than one half turn of the valve stem 
at a time and wait for at least fifteen minutes 
before rechecking probe temperature and mak-
ing further adjustments.  Replace and tighten 
cover of the valve stem. 
 
Refrigeration –  
 
 
As stated previously, these cases are self-
contained systems featuring semi-hermetic 
compressors and thermostatic expansion valves.  
The condensers are of a fin-and tube construc-
tion and should be periodically cleaned to main-
tain efficient operation. 
 
 
If it should become necessary to leak test 
the system; please adhere to the following no-
tice

 
BECAUSE OF CFC ATMOSPHERIC CON-
SIDERATIONS BEING TAKEN TODAY, WE 
ASK THAT LEAK TESTING BE DONE 
WITH REFRIGERANT 22 MIXED WITH NI-
TROGEN.  IF THE CONDENSING UNIT 
NAMEPLATE DESIGNATES A REFRIGER-
ANT OTHER THAN R-22 REMOVE ALL R-
22 FROM THE IMMEDIATE AREA TO 
AVOID CONFUSION AFTER LEAK TEST-
ING AND EVACUATING THE UNIT.  RE-
CHARGE THE UNIT WITH PROPER RE-
FRIGERANT. 
 
Leak Testing
 –  
 
CAUTION 
 
The test gas cylinder must be equipped 
with a pressure gauge and regulator so that 
system test pressures do not exceed maximum 
allowable limits.  Do not ever use anything 
other than an R-22/Nitrogen mixture for leak 
testing.  
 
 
Attach a refrigerant test gas cylinder 
to your service manifold and connect the 
manifold to the charging port on the liquid  
line valve.  Charge an R-22/Nitrogen mixture 
into the system, raising the pressure to the 
unit’s nameplate for the low side and high 
side pressures.  Using an electronic detector, 
carefully check the entire system for leaks.  
Take special care to inspect all brazed and 
flare connections. 
 
Evacuation –  
 
 
After the system is proven leak tight, 
thoroughly evacuate the system according to 
the following procedure: 
 
 Discharge the refrigerant-nitrogen mix-
ture, allowing it to blow from the system 
as rapidly as possible, into an empty cylin-
der.  Be sure that all service valves and 
solenoid valves are open to allow all of the 
mixture to be discharged. 
 
 Connect a deep-drain vacuum pump to 
both the high and low side of the system.  
Pull a vacuum on the system to at least 
1500 microns. 
 
 Break the vacuum by adding refrigerant 
into the system until the pressure is above 
0 psig.  Always charge the refrigerant line 
into the system through a new drier in the 
charging manifold line.  A 16 cubic inch 
drier is sufficient for this purpose.
